High Five for Friday

jeans: (kohls)   shirt: rue 21 $3 (similar)  wedges: target $8 (similar)

1.  Thanks to a 30% coupon at Kohls I got these pants for $16.  I also managed to find a dress for under $3 and a pair of pajama shorts for under $2.
I love clearance racks! 

2. I plan on making these this weekend:
Baked Mini Apple Donut Holes

Baked Mini Apple Donut Holes

3.  I'm so happy I waited to buy these booties because they were only $9 at Target. 
I know I've said before that I'm not a patient person but when it comes to waiting for things to go on clearance I can do that!


4. A few weeks ago a friend brought over these delicious grapes and I finally got to make my own. 


All you do is wash your grapes, roll them in Jello mix and refrigerate them.
I used the flavor melon fusion.  They were SO good!

5. I'm happy September has been moving pretty quickly, as the next three months are my favorite of the year.
As it starts to get closer to October I have spots open for sponsorship.
Check here for more info.
I'd LOVE to have you next month!


Have a great weekend!



Oh and don't forget to enter this week's giveaway for a $15 gift card to Forever 21!

    I'm in love with the color mustard (what brand are those?) and now I think I need to go to Target (again). I want some booties. I never thought I would. But people have been looking so cute in them lately. I mean, blog people. Obviously not people I see everyday :)

    You're the 2nd person who has found cute colored jeans at Kohls. I need to get over there and check out their selection. I have never seen this grape recipe thing, looks interesting and I am sure it is wayyyyyy better for my hips than those darn pretzal cookies you got me on! :)
